Engine oil PENNZOIL or Pentosin

In our 2003 1.8T Passat, we use; Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic High Mileage 5w-30. Changed every 4000 miles. Because we made the change early, we have not had and engine oil sludge problem. The Passat now has 205k miles.

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is a crowd favorite and what I've been running in mine.

I’m using Pennzoil Euro 5W40.

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum has been doing well in my UOAs.

I've switched to Pennzoil Platinum Pure Plus. It's cheap, it's easy to find, and it's got those nice lubricating additives that our hot-running FA20 motors and Garrett turbos like.

FA20s show regular positive results with Pennzoil Platinum PurePlus.

I run Pennzoil Platinum in mine (same engine) which is another popular oil. 5w-30 btw.

I use Castrol or Pennzoil most of the time (N/A engine or I'd use Rotella) haven't had any issues with it.

I bought a 5 Liter Bottle of Pentosin SAE 5W-40 Pento High Performance II Motor Oil from O’Reilly Auto Parts for $50.75. This API SN/CF and ACEA C3 Rated Oil complies with VW-Specification 502 00/505 00/505 01 and is Made in Germany.

I have been driving for upwards of 50 years and have always had good luck with Pennzoil products. Pennzoil makes a 5W-40 full synthetic Platinum Euro which meets the VW 502 spec and has gotten good reviews from GTI owners.
